God is out there, man... Hey!
God really is out there, man!
He is standing right behind your neck!
Once you ripen and fall,
He will grab and swallow you whole, man!
God really is out there, man!
He is standing right behind your neck!
Once you ripen and fall,
He will grab and swallow you whole, man!
Dance... dance... dance... dance...
Dance as long as you can dance!
Search, search for the crowd you dance with!
You need one too, so go search!
Dance... dance... dance... dance...
Dance as long as you can dance!
Search, search for the crowd you dance with!
You need one too, so go search!
He will read that big heart of yours,
He will strip away your wings of sin,
Make you sit down,
And laugh as he fires question after question!
Your justifications are only in your head,
To go and settle your accounts there,
He is not some mere accountant,
He is your father, man... your master!
Dance... dance... dance... dance...
Dance as long as you can dance!
Search, search for the crowd you dance with!
You need one too, so go search!
Dance... dance... dance... dance...
Dance as long as you can dance!
Search, search for the crowd you dance with!
You need one too, so go search!
God really is out there, man!
He is standing right behind your neck!
Once you ripen and fall,
He will grab and swallow you whole, man!
